De-catted headpipe
Suggestions on where to get best price on de-catted headpipe for 2011 King?
Been looking for something off of a 2009 with not much luck. Don't really want to spend a ton of money.
Thoughts?

otherwise look to ebay- seems about $150 is about right.
the 2009 would require o2 sensor bung adapters, and the location is not the same as yours- wires may not reach...also while most 2009's have not cat...some do. CA spec bikes often show up in other States

It is easy enough to gut a cat if you have someone who can weld the window back in. Any welding shop will probably do it for about 20.00.
On the heat shield side of the head pipe measure in 3/4" from each end of weld in the collector, then make the window just short of where the radius starts on the sides of the collector. Cut out the window with a very fine metal blade. I use a dremel tool. Pry the window up and clean out the cat with a screwdriver. Get someone to weld the window back in.

Yeah, it's not too hard to gut yours, all you need is a cut-off tool to cut the hole, I had mine welded back up by a Muffler shop for 25 bucks.
I had pics, but I can't seem to find them.
